While Google’s Chromebooks are all about online services, there are times when a good old-fashioned printout is required to accompany your digital adventures.
Printing from a Chromebook has become much easier in recent years, but it isn’t always clear how to get started or which paths to take. If you follow this guide, you should be able to print paper from your cloud-based computer in no time.
If you have a recent printer that can connect to the internet, you should be able to add it directly to your Chromebook without the need for additional services.
